MONAGHAN SIGNS WITH THE ROOSTERS

[edabomb]

But we all know Elliott won't drop Monaghan. He hasn't made a tough call in 2yrs of control, don't think he will start now.

 

[legend]

There is an upside to this? Not from where I sit.

 

[Raiders Rock]

Of course there is, it frees up some more money to retain the 8 or so players that come off contract next year!!

 

[Rohan]

Monaghan = worse than Finch

 

[edabomb]

We already had $250,000 free from Wiki. I can't see the money as a positive. This shows how hard it is not only for us to sign talent, but now to maintain what we have. Strange days indeed.

 

[Prodigiousman]

There isn't a thing we can do - so please vent with some restraint, i'd prefer to sift through half legal posts than the colourful rubbish that frequents the above.

I am not happy he's gone but we can replace him, and he didn't leave to SPITE the fans.

Things don't look great right now ladies and gents, but the next week will bring a smile... just wait and see.

 

[Skippy The Bush Kangadrew]

I agree Rohan, it's worse because Joel is a local and the raiders put alot of work in to get him where he is (albiet a rooster), and Finch wasn't one of ours.

 

[Bay56]

Some NRL f**k arse is going to have to explain to the supporters how the rorting rooters can afford to pay the same money we can for Joel and still be under the cap.

Who is in charge of the cap police .... an ex rooster ... its a friggin farce.

Who is a selector and has a big influence on SOO ... a rooster.

Add to that our inept management team and a coach who no one wants to play for and we aint got no friggin chance.

 

[Panjabi]

It was reported that we offered Joel $250K/year, how is it possible for the roosters to offer him anything even close to that ???
Had he signed with Manly it would of been a slap in the face, but something i could of lived with due to the family ties..but the Roosters??? Im livid !!!!

A list of the rep players we've lost.

Ben Kennedy..
Brett Finch (to lesser extent)
Ruben Wiki
and now.
Joel Monaghan

Judas Monaghan!!!!!

Any inside info there you'd like to pass on?!?

 

[Steven Gerrard]

2GB says the Joel signing with the Roosters is UNCONFIRMED. :?:

 

[edabomb]

I'm sure they wouldn't announce it on global television if it wasn't confirmed. Plus Gus didn't show much reaction, which he might of if it had been a suprise.....

True, the money isn't a positive when we've lost a few of our best but mark my words, this is nothing!! If we don't retain and top up the contracts of Toots, Rhino, Germ, Hodgo, Gaffa, Schif and whoever else if off-contract we'll really be in a world of poo!!

While Muss, Statue & now Joel will hurt us, we can recover. We've got some great talent coming through the ranks, yes unlike the Rortsters we develop players, so don't be to disheartened by what's happened.

And unlike the Rortsters we have some heart!! Look at what our bits-n-pieces team did to the Broncos.

joel can kiss my hairy arse.

Toots has re-signed for 2 more this year. I think Clintons tied up till 2006?? Theres a full list of off contract players as a sticky. This is definately a negative thing in the short term, I guess it just depends how much time a fan has patience. I can assure everyone I will never ditch the men in green!!!!

Totally agree with you, I've been here since 82, I'm certainly not going anywhere. Short term it may hurt but I believe they have the heart to recover from this.

 

[greeneyed]

If the story is true, it just makes me incredibly sad. And this is not a Finch situation if it is true. He clearly agonised over the situation. Let's not turn on the guy.

And Elliott is about to be on 2GB.

If he went to further his Rep chances then they may not have offered him as much money... Yeah right!! THOSE DIRTY ROTTEN SALARY CAP CHEATIN BASTARDS ARE RORTING THE SYSTEM AND WE ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF IT!!

 

[Poida_Raider]
